    Chocolate peanut butter protein shake. So good
    Jenna L.

    First time here, I was looking for a new gym in the area and signed up for the guest pass to check it out. Valerie greeted me and gave me a tour of the gym. She's awesome!!! I love how there's 2 floors with cardio on both and GROUP CLASSES all days and times of the week. The VIP pass includes tanning, unlimited classes, and specials every month of the year (like 1/2 price protein bars) and stuff like that. TOTALLY WORTH IT IN MY opinion! Favorite part of this gym?! THE PROTEIN SHAKE BAR! And Valerie made me a free shake to try for signing up! I got chocolate peanut butter!! Sooo gooooood! Waaaay better than planet fitness (which I was a member of in the past). Retro is where it's at people.

    No shirt, no regards

    I want to go to the gym, but when you have reckless members and incompetent staff not enforcing hygiene and behavior that affects others- it's hard to

    The 5 stars has to do with value for money, staff, & facilities in general. Ive been coming here for years. I actually signed up before they even opened. I remember when I saw the advertisement ( this is about 7 years ago now) & I came to check it out, it was a huge empty warehouse. The owner showed me around & painted his vision of the gym, I quickly saw the potential so I signed up immediately. It took about 9 months until the gym opened & ive been coming ever since. Im mention this because my review is a long term review, not a quick short term experience like a restaurant meal. Value for Money: Its $20/month with no contract. There is a new owner now (about 2 months ago) and he has been making a lot of improvements & renovations to the gym. For $30 month, there is a new membership that features unlimited classes, tanning, child sitting, & nationwide access. I should note the classes are new, the new owner introduced this. See my photo for classes. Staff: The staff are mostly college students who are friendly around the gym, smile, and greet you when you come in & say by when you leave. Ive never encountered anyone rude here. Facilities: Ive mentioned some aspects of the facilities earlier. A couple of other notes is that I like how things around the gym have their own location & not scattered around. For example, there are sections located for abs, cardio, weight lifting, training. I should also mention that they have a huge theatre with treadmills that plays movies all day. They also just purchased these new bikes that have a gaming aspect to them. The screen displays a simulated bike trail with other bikes to make you feel outside & not stationary ( see photo). There are certainly other gyms with more amenities, but for me, ive never used those, i like the basics...with extras :/

    This is how disgusting the equipment at retro in hackensack is. Horrrible!!!!!!!!!! Stay away from the germs

For my introductory class, I signed up for their Core Pilates. It was really difficult to sign up. I had a hard time getting in contact with anyone (it took about 4 attempts). But when I finally did, the sign up process was easy. They had a lot of classes to pick from, including Pilates, Barre and cardio classes. I didn't realize when I signed up that this was a reformer class. I usually do mat Pilates, but there were a few other beginners in the class and the teacher was very patient and nice. The great thing about the reformer machine is that you can turn up or turn down the intensity of the workout according to where you're at. It does take more coordination than I'm used to being on the machine, but it was fun! The teacher helped make adjustments so I could get the maximum benefit, which I appreciated. The Hackensack facility was really nice and big. They had complimentary lockers and towels and the changing room and restroom were both clean. The membership is kind of steep at $279 per month, but they do have discounts for 26 years old and under an 65 years old and over at their other locations.

You need to get the facts straight first before you jump the gun on how friendly Frank was to me because that's simply NOT the case... My ID is 100% valid. Im retired like I told him several times This is what I clearly told Frank a year ago and he said that it was" no issue at all" ..So I ended up coming back to the club a year later to finally join up. He asked me for ID which I showed him, then he started to say oh didn't you come in here a year ago etc, so I said yes I did. He then tells me "oh your ID says retired you can join at the full rate" and "I told you last time that im not giving you the discount we offer ...(that's not true at all ), What he said was that it was NO ISSUE".. He started to examine my ID, hold it up to the light literally about 5 different times ,,,Not sure what that was about...I said Frank, " WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY ID- YOURE EXAMINING IT LIKE ITS A FAKE $100 BILL OR SOMETHING, I said is there an issue?????..and he says " OH NOTHING I WAS JUST LOOKING AT IT. He then continues to say he's not giving me the discount and he told me this last year. I said NO PROBLEM...I was leaving, asked him for my ID back, and he started taking pictures of my ID with his phone... Maybe you can clear that up for me Andrew..what was that about after I said no problem and was clearly leaving the club with my coat on. Why did he start taking pictures of My ID?

I did have some issues where the paperwork and the specifics of my contract. We're not always honored. For example, when I moved away, they were trying to charge me however, I had to point out to them a couple times that do the distance I was moving away as per my contract I shouldn't owe anything else. Now it would have been ideal if these were things that they were aware of and not things that I had to remind them of. But overall, I had a very positive experience here. I think if they had increased their hours or offered a more varied selection of gym classes, they could really open up anew Market here.

I first joined in 2018 and it's sad to see how downhill the corporation has gone. The glory days ended shortly after the COVID pandemic. Since then, they've closed over 7 NJ locations, cut down opening hours, cut down on group classes, removed towel service, and have limited sauna and pool hours. I understand that it took time for gyms to recover and get back into full swing. But it's 2025 now. There's way too much competition in the fitness industry for 24 to be operating the way it is. I switch between the Paramus and Englewood Cliffs location, but I prefer this one since it's much bigger and has later hours. My biggest ick? The gym is not maintained well at all. Machines, equipment, hand dryers, and bathroom sinks are broken down for months. Dumbbells and plates are scattered everywhere, which is not 100% the employees' fault. There's a constant foul smell in certain areas, most likely due to broken pipes. The entire facility needs a deep cleaning from head to toe. What are we paying a maintenance fee for? Come on... Putting the negatives aside, there are some positives. *The Paramus location is spacious and has two floors. *The floor has all of your basic equipment: treadmills, bikes, stairmasters, squat racks, barbells, benches, dumbbells, kettlebells, TRX, cables, and machines. I can recommend this gym for beginner to intermediate lifters. It's not a bodybuilder or powerlifting gym. *Their Zumba classes are SO MUCH FUN. Don't judge a book by its cover... get in there!!! Take Lucia, Lynn, or Melissa's classes. Check the website for the full class schedule. *There's a basketball court, pickle ball games, and a racquetball court. *They have a sauna, steam room, pool, and showers with limited hours. I only use the sauna and it's relaxing when it's not super crowded. *My membership allows me to have access to other regional locations as well as bringing guests. Pricing is a bit all over the place. It all depends on when you join, what kind of membership you have, and what sales/promotions are going on. Some members pay $24 or $34 a month, while others are paying $54. It's best to ask the front desk what the lowest rate is. Overall, it's not the worst gym in the world. It gets the job done for my fitness routine. I just wish the maintenance was a lot better and that they would have later hours. Honestly, I've been thinking about finding another gym. If it weren't for the friends and community I've made and my lower price rate, I would have left awhile ago. I'm willing to spend more $$$ on a membership for a much better experience.

This is the only location I ever use and the reason it had Hoboken as my home Gym is because I signed up online and that's the one it chose. Then she couldn't help me at all and told me I would need to call or go online so that means I got up, got dressed and then drove all the way over there for nothing. It's like they either hire these young people who have zero clue what customer service is or the company itself doesn't know. I am so disgusted and even though I eventually went online to change it, I'm really rethinking if I want to continue going.

Meaning there are many men who would just come through the side door and then walk through the locker room. I would alert management of it, but they really did not seem to care. And much like many other scam gyms in the area when you cancel they do not process a cancellation. Luckily I had taken a picture of the cancellation form that I signed, but then they told me that they just were not going to accept the cancellation and they only told me this months after I left. Luckily my bank sided with me, but I would definitely warn anyone against going here. They also shared the parking lot with a trucking company and I would constantly be blocked and not be able to enter because they were just so many trucks blocking the entrance and exit of the parking lot. I really did not feel that they honored any part of the contract. They also were never open the times they said they were going to, they often closed early or would close for random hours throughout the day. I think Golds Gym in general can be very good but this one is not managed well.
